Gateway 7001 Series User Manual

www.gateway.com

The Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP ships with a default Static IP Address of 
192.168.1.1. (See the default settings for the AP in 

.) If no DHCP server is found on the network, the AP retains this static IP address 

at first-time startup.

After AP startup, you have the option of specifying a static IP addressing policy on Gateway 
7001 Series self-managed APs and assigning static IP addresses to APs on the internal 
network through the access point Administration Web pages. (See information about the 
Connection Type box and related boxes in 

.)

If you experience trouble communicating with the access point, you can recover a static 
IP address by resetting the AP configuration to the factory defaults (see 

), or you can get a dynamically assigned address by connecting 

the AP to a network that has DHCP.

If you do not have a DHCP server on the Internal network 
and do not plan to use one, the first thing you must do after 
adding the access point is change the Connection Type 
from DHCP to Static IP. You can either assign a new Static 
IP address to the AP or continue using the default address. 
We recommend assigning a new Static IP address so that 
if later you add another Gateway 7001 Series 
self-managed AP on the same network, the IP address for 
each AP will be unique.
